It's time to admit the painfully obvious: At least from the business traveler's perspective, the BlackBerry is history, Bizjournals' Seat 2B reports. It is swiftly going the way of paper airplane tickets, fax machines, dual-time watches, world-band radios and dozens of other tools and tricks that once seemed an integral part life on the road.

A year is forever in business-travel time, especially since those of us who still carry a BlackBerry are probably dealing with devices that are dinged, dented and long past their physical as well technological prime. So, it's time to move on and remember the BlackBerry with the same misty nostalgia we reserve for those 30-pound Compaq "portable" computer, pagers and those little black boxes that emitted tones through a pay phone so we could access our telephone answering machines.
